The_Dude 0 Posted May 24, 2011 http://www.motorsportatthepalace.co.uk/ Motorsport at the Palace for you London and Surrey types. Held in Crystal Palace park and easily accessible by bus and train. And car too! I'll be there as I live about half a mile away :) Classic car show with a timed sprint event on part of the old race track that is now, sadly, no longer complete. Looks like lots of cool cars to ogle at: http://www.motorsportatthepalace.co.uk/competitorlist/sunday2.html http://www.motorsportatthepalace.co.uk/competitorlist/monday2.htm Some of last year's cars.

Rocket Ron 1 Posted May 25, 2011 Hi I'm going to this on Sunday but not taking the VR. Shall go to see if it's worth us using it as a venue for getting together and showing our cars. Ron White CCGB Member Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron White CCGB Member The only caveat is coming in on the M3 and going round the South Circular (A205) which can be a bit crap as its pretty much all traffic. I prefer to go round the M25 and then up the M23 thru Croydon. Its about 30 miles more, but much less traffic and takes only slightly longer. It depends how frustrated you'd get sitting in traffic for up to an hour! If you're coming up early on a Sunday it should be ok tho.

Rocket Ron 1 Posted May 30, 2011 Hi attanded this on Sunday morning not to miss the Grand Prix (what a race) as I was visiting my son for the weekend and just lives around the corner. Yes it has just re-started after a while and now going for its second year. It seems odd them racing around park but was a good sight with some classics. Classic car section was good but no vw's yet. How about us attending next year will get in contact with the organisers. Ron White CCGB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
